Hi
all,
Yes, this is very early
for my weekly update but I have an early flight on Thursday to go visit with my
two beautiful granddaughters in San Francisco. Instead of trying to get an
update out when I will be in California, on Sunday, my usual day, I decided to
just send this out early.
A surprise in the tennis
pavillion
Yes, your eyes are not
deceiving you, there are three patio heaters sitting under the tennis pavilion When the Murrays and the Carters used the Palm Creek Tennis Friends
and Family coupon that I sent them they wrote my name as the recommender. When
they registered to stay here for three months, Palm Creek put a credit on my
account for $600! That’s $100 a month for up to 3 months times two – one from
the Carter’s and one from the Murray’s. I was just the person who Activities
referred Glenn to when he came in to check out our park. Upon seeing the
credit, Mark and I immediately decided that we could not keep these funds. We
decided to buy something for the tennis club that would be fun to have but we
would probably never put in the budget – three patio heaters for the tennis pavilion Now, if we have a cold chill we can still enjoy whatever event we
have scheduled. We put the heaters together this evening (Tuesday) and Mark
will buy the tanks and fill them with propane so that they are ready to
go.
Club Team Tennis –
Thursdays at 2pm
The sign up sheets will be
posted on the bulletin board – see the “Social” section in the board facing the pavilion You just sign up and we put together the teams to make sure that
they are as balanced as possible. The dates for this session are Thursday,
January 10, 17 and 24. We start play at 2pm followed by a wonderful tennis club
happy hour in the tennis pavilion For those of you who have never experienced
Team Tennis – Palm Creek Style – we play Ladies Doubles, Mixed Doubles and end
with Men’s Doubles. With 8 courts we are planning on 4 person teams instead of
the 6 person teams we did last season. This is a lot of fun and coaching,
cheering and gracious trash talking is encouraged.
People Update
Bill and Sieny Kouwenhoven
have a special occasion – they celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary. Congratulations from the tennis club!
Pete McGannon has sold his
Park model so we say farewell to Rhoda and Pete – you guys will be missed!!
Desert Cactus
League
I
have had some people tell me that they would like to be on a team. I love the
tennis club and I want to help everyone have a wonderful experience playing
tennis at Palm Creek. But, I hope you understand that I cannot pick up yet
another responsibility. If you are interested, you can take the step that David
Pratt so graciously did, and form a team and work with Orly to schedule play on
another day of the week. Or, you can register for one of the current Desert
Cactus leagues: Ladies play on Mondays at 2pm and Men play on Tuesdays at
2pm. David set up a Men’s team that plays on Wednesdays at 1pm. I’d love to
have more Desert Cactus teams but I need to look to you, our membership, to make
it happen.
Men’s League –
January
The sign up sheet is also
going up for the January Men’s League. If you will not be in the park prior to
January, let me know by replying to this email and I will get your name posted
to the sign up sheet. The first Tuesday in January is January 1st.
Let Jim Weaver (520-876-7284) know if you will not be able to play on 1/1 and
you will need a sub. It may be very difficult to find subs but we will do our
best.
Ladies
League
There are lots of ladies
signed up for ladies league, but with 8 courts we still have plenty of space.
Make sure you get down to the tennis center and get your name on the list. If
you don’t want to commit to playing every week, sign up as a sub and you will
still have lots of opportunity to play. One thing that I thought was very
creative is two ladies signed up for one slot and they split the responsibility
for playing or can cover when the other is away.
Mixed Doubles
League
The sign up sheet is
posted and there are already two courts filled. But, we really want to see all
of our courts full. Its going to be a lot of fun so don’t forget to sign up for
this, our newest addition to our organized play.
To all of our Palm Creek
Friends this email comes with warm wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a
joyous New Year,
Kate
